HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

In case I haven’t told anyone this year. I have the most amazing boyfriend on the planet! Yup! I do! He sent me flowers at work, which brightened up this Tuesday morning. I have a little more than a year to go before I get to see him but I think it will be a year well worth it :o)

On different news- 81days until I leave :o) Written like that, seems like a long time. But knowing the long list of items I still need to buy and the longer list of things I still need to do along with the working until Jan 31st 81 days doesn’t feel like enough time. I really want to do soo much and see everyone before March 25th. I know all of it isn’t going to happen but I’d like to try. I think I’m going to finish the shopping aspect first. Well mostly b/c I’m still getting paid now and well shopping is just fun. And I’d rather do the fun parts first. I have an IKEA trip planned for Thursday with some of my favorite girlies :o)

Tentative plans- I think right now, although my parents might or might not know it. I have going to have a going away party the weekend before I leave which is the weekend of the 16th-18th. Write it on your calendar!! (It might change to the weekend before if that is better for more people)

People with TIVO (and well everyone else too) - FYI: You will be burning me copying of TV shows and movies. If you want to know what to get me know before I leave. The answer is burned copies of every movie and cd you own. (Mirs- those Sex and the City DVD you have, yup! those too) I’m not joking. I will be bored (HELLO – remember the million hour flight I’m going to take) and I will love you forever for it. (Not as much as Justin though, b/c nothing can beat flowers at work)

Emily, Elyse and anyone else that wants to come- June 2009 (yes, I know it is super long way away but I’m telling you to start saving now!) A 6 day trip to Vienna, Prague and Budapest (2 days in each city) including airfare from NYC is about $1200. (So 8 days total, 2 for flights) And let’s say $300 for spending while we’re there so that’s a total of $1500. Yes. That is a lot of money for all you people saying it’s too much to come see you. But think about it this way. June 2009 is 2 ½ years away. That is 30 months. $1500 divided by 30 months is $50 a month. You need to save $50 a month to be able to spend 6 days in 3 countries with 1 amazing friend :o) If you would like to come before then you are also welcome :o) (p.s. that might beat flowers at work)

Christmas and New Years went great for me and I hope it was for you too :o) byes
